MERCEDES-AMG GT 63 S REVIEW WITH 0-60MPH, 1/4-MILE, DRIFT & TRACK TEST!

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E-Performance is presented as the most powerful road-legal AMG ever, boasting an impressive 843hp from its hybrid V8 powertrain. While the exterior and interior remain largely unchanged from the previous generation, the significant under-the-skin upgrades are highlighted. The reviewer notes the car's immense power, achieving a 0-60 mph time of 2.84 seconds and a quarter-mile in 10.75 seconds. However, the review points out several drawbacks: the hybrid system can be hesitant and unseamless in its power delivery on the road, the electric-only range is limited, and the added weight impacts its agility, particularly on track. The boot space is also compromised by the hybrid components. Despite the impressive performance figures and excellent carbon ceramic brakes, the reviewer ultimately advises avoiding this specific E-Performance model due to its high price, complexity, and the fact that it's not significantly faster or better to drive than its less expensive, non-hybrid predecessor or the BMW M5 CS, especially on track.
